Check your local post office hours before visiting. USPS delivers on Saturday, although it has short business hours and is closed on Sundays, and on federal holidays.
Is Priority mail safer than first class?
One of the biggest differences between the two services is that First Class mail doesn't have a default insurance policy like Priority Mail. So, in cases where a package is lost or damaged during delivery via First Class, the sender isn't covered.
What percentage of first class mail is lost?
A very small fraction of one percent. Of this most is not actually lost, but is either damaged by or becomes trapped in the massive automated machinery used to process the mail. Letter mail gets processed on multiple automated machines, usually before anyone actually even looks at it.
